Linda has just uploaded the Rampai Pagi interview on to the Learning Ladders blog here for those who either missed it or was not able to watch it. And just in case you can't quite catch what we are saying, there is a slideshow summarising all the points made on the show that you can easily see on the main page right under the main header. Happy watching!

Nisa said...: Hi Ka! I just watched the video! Well done! I thought the whole session was very informative considering it was only 15 minutes long! Heehee and it was way more enlightening than I had initially thought, to be honest.. (Coz I like to perasaan that I know quite a lot sudah about autism from following your blog! Hehee!)

Like, I didn't know that in the future, there'll be more autistic people than people with cancer, aids and diabetes put together! And congratulations to Learning Ladders for putting your organisation out there and tirelessly spreading awareness. Now parents can be better informed about their kids! =)

Congratulations once again! =); December 13, 2008 at 11:14 PM

It's indeed soooo complicated and there are just too many facets to it!; December 15, 2008 at 10:58 AM

About Raiyan

Raiyan was diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum at 4 years 7 months and was immediately started on 13 hours/week sessions of 1-1 ABA-based behavioral and language development therapy.

Before that, Raiyan could only communicate his needs using 1-2 words at most (though he can narrate a whole song or book easily but with no comprehension of what his words meant), was extremely resistant to change and new situations/environments, was locked in his obsessive world of animals and threw excruciatingly loud tantrums lasting hours or until his wants are eventually met.

Alhamdulillah, now at 6 years old, Raiyan can now have conversations with others, is open to change and new environments with a little cajoling, is constantly engaged in imaginative play including group play with his siblings and other children and best of all, has long kissed the scary tantrums goodbye.

He has also gone beyond our expectations with him now being independent in class (year 2) in a mainstream school.

We have no doubts that Raiyan is where he is now because of the appropriate therapy he has received in the past year and the conscientious hard work and dedication exerted by his caregivers, his therapists and most of all by Raiyan himself.

We are forever thankful and appreciative of the progress Raiyan has made to date and would love to offer other parents the same hope that we have and to work towards the progress they dream for their own child. Amin.
